Space Machines

by John Perritano

Overview

Before people could explore outer space, they had to invent the vehicles that could get them there. Readers learn all about the rockets, shuttles, and space stations that sent people into space, and the amazing machines that help explore the far reaches of our solar system. Full-color photographs help highlight the coolest and most advanced space machines humans have created. Readers can even learn how to draw their own space shuttle, and take a quiz to reinforce what they've learned about the machines that have taken mankind further than ever before.
